If you can find the time to really delve into the rules for FFP, you'll see there's a clause that allows UEFA to waive the sanctions banning clubs from competing if they've "failed" the FFP tests "If the clubs are commercially important to the competition". There's so much sponsor money swilling around the CL now (the fact we have 4 clubs at the start is more down to the value of the TV deals for UK market). If we did break that glass ceiling and finish top 4, we better make sure we definitely have our ducks lined up financially, because we'll be keeping one of the sponsor's wet dream teams out, and will they not like that.

West Ham underperformed ?

They are due going down aren't they ? In my lifetime they've probably had a 50/50 split between Top/Next division.

But hey "They're a great cup team," and "They have a famed academy" and "The famous West Ham way of playing" etc etc. Employ a blert like fat sam and you get what you get....... SHYTE.
